Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 1 cup creamy (plant-based) cheese
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh herbs (such as chopped parsley or chives), for garnish
  • Spicy additions: finely chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper, to taste
  • Additional mix-ins: diced roasted sweet potatoes or bell peppers
  • Topping: crushed plant-based crackers or breadcrumbs mixed with a little plant-based butter
  • Extra creaminess: mashed avocado or a dollop of cashew cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh corn kernels, creamy (plant-based) cheese, plant-based milk, and plant-based butter. Add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Add the Flour and Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle all-purpose flour and natural gelling agent over the wet mixture. Gently fold together to form a smooth, thick batter, ensuring you do not overmix to retain some corn texture.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with plant-based butter. Pour in the corn mixture and spread evenly, smoothing the top for uniform baking.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Set: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for 35 to 40 minutes, until edges are golden and the center is firm. Let cool slightly before serving for best texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen corn for natural sweetness and juiciness.
  • Include apple cider vinegar (natural) to balance richness and brighten flavors.
  • Gently fold flour and natural gelling agent to avoid dense texture.
  • Allow casserole to rest after baking for easier slicing and serving.
  • Experiment with different creamy (plant-based) cheeses to customize flavor and texture.
